Both the Towns of Granby and East Granby are proud to announce that they now have a certified QPR instructor on staff. Question, Pursuade, Refer is a research based, nationally recognized suicide prevention program suitable for older teens and adults. In a brief hour long session, you learn what to look for and how to respond to someone who may be considereing suicide.
It is an uncomfortable topic, one we may avoid asking about. Asking someone if they are suicidal means we need to do shomething if they are, and many of us feel unqualified to handle this kind of situation. QPR gives you the skills you need to ask the right questions and get the person the help they need.
Sucicde is preventable, and the more members of our community who are prepared to respond to the warning signs of depression and suicide, the better we can rotect our friends, families and neigbors from a deadly decision.
